Hey jon,

Those ribbit's don't look that bad, But wasn't the USS "monitors' " turrent round.

The ribbits are the ones that were already there on the flat car and the chopped caboose. In the center of the, erm, uh, hull, I had to add a section of plastic which is as baren as the iraqi desert when it comes to ribbits But, I'm glad you _didn't_ notice, because that means it's not so obvious, which is what I had hoped. I still might add some ribbits to the area if I can make them look good.

Anyways, it's all good now, because I'm finished forthe week, the Voodoo Priest is bendin' the strings on that upside down guitar, and I get to play loud tonight Oh yes, and the star spangled banner just started, kinda chokes me up

That gives me a good idea too, it would make a great army caboose with all that room on the end for gunning down baddies, no?

Now I see it, still looks fine though.
Yes, you could mount a wopper of a Dahlgren on there But then again you could just turn that GandyDancer car loose 'em.

A small crane, and a good supply of "the Box" would do also.

No guns yet, but I did add in the ribbits using the techniques learned at The Gauge . This was done after the fact by using the fabric wheel on a very thin sheet of styrene and affixing over the naked area. I like the ribbits, but had to try twice, as the first time I pressed too hard, resulting in dashes instead of dots. Like I said, no guns, but I did get the ships wheel mounted on the helm.

jon,jon,jon...The wheel is supposed to go inside the wheel house.

btw, nice ribbit fix

The rightful owner has reclaimed our shack on a raft from the nasty, dirty pirates. As a preventative measure, siderails have been installed.
